Although the Lineage has become much wealthier in recent years, it still owes a lot of debts and annual stipends to its members. After paying them off, the family treasury should have no more than three thousand Spirit Stone remaining.

These eight thousand Spirit Stone were probably collected by the clan leader and the other two Foundation Establishment cultivators, and they even brought out the Spirit Stone they had seized from Zuo Yunian.

Taking the Spirit Stone, Chen Nianzhi sighed, "I remember seven or eight years ago, I went to Heavenly Ruins Mountain alone with more than two thousand Spirit Stone. At that time, I was afraid of being killed and robbed, and I didn't dare to sleep all night."

"In order to buy Old Granduncle the Meridian-Nourishing Pill, I secretly investigated for more than half a month before I dared to enter the Heavenly Ruins Pavilion."

"Now that I have eight thousand Spirit Stone in my hands, I'm no longer nervous. It feels like just yesterday."

Upon hearing this, the Old Clan Leader and the Third Elder couldn't help but smile.

Now that Chen Nianzhi Foundation Establishment for several years, and possesses his Life-Bound Immortal Sword and two Tier 2- tier high-grade magic Law Artifact, he can probably hold his own against Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator. Naturally, he is highly skilled and daring.

"..."

After the New Year was over, Chen Nianzhi did not stay long and flew to Feng Commandery on her sword the next day.

Now his cultivation is becoming more and more profound. He can fly more than 6,000 miles a day on his sword. Although Feng Commandery is more than 60,000 miles away from Yu Commandery, he only flew there for more than ten days.

After entering Feng Commandery, Chen Nianzhi did not rush to Fengyang Market, where the Exchange Fair was held. Instead, she flew on her sword to the Liu Immortal Clan first.

The Liu Immortal Clan is one of the seven Foundation Establishment Immortal Clan in Feng Commandery. Since the destruction of the Zuo Clan, it has been one of the six Foundation Establishment Immortal Clan.

This clan ranks among the top in strength among the six great immortal clans. The Liu Immortal Clan 'Lineage specialty is the famous Golden-whisker Silkworm.

Golden-whisker Silkworm Silk sells well throughout the entire Border Province. The various immortal clans, large and small, in the three prefectures have always had a considerable demand for Golden-whisker Silkworm Silk in order to set up formations.

The Liu Clan earns an extra thousand Spirit Stone every year solely from the unique profits brought by the Golden-whisker Silkworm.

It is precisely because of this that the Liu Clan ranks second among the Foundation Establishment Immortal Clan in Feng Commandery. There are five Foundation Establishment cultivators in their Lineage, and the patriarch is a great cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer. Their strength is even slightly better than that of the Mu Clan in Yu Commandery.

After all, although the Mu Clan has seven Foundation Establishment, some of them are in the Azure Sun Sect, so they can only be considered half of the Mu Clan's cultivators.

Getting back to the main point, Chen Nianzhi flew to the outside of the Liu Clan's mountain gate on his sword. He did not rush in, but instead circulated his True Essence energy and shouted loudly.

"I am Chen Nianzhi from the Chen Clan Qingyuan Mountain, and I have come to pay you a visit."

"We humbly request that Fellow Daoist Liu Clan come out of seclusion for an audience."

As soon as he finished speaking, he waited in the reception pavilion at the foot of the mountain.

After a while, two figures flew out on their swords. One was a man and the other a woman, both Foundation Establishment cultivators.

The man looked old and his cultivation level appeared to be at the Foundation Establishment Sixth Layer, while the woman looked to be in her late twenties but her cultivation level was at the Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer, clearly indicating that she possessed the art of preserving her youth.

When the woman saw Chen Nianzhi, she smiled from afar and said, "The magpies have been singing all morning. I knew we would have a distinguished guest today, and it turns out they were right."

"It is truly a great honor for the Liu Clan that Fellow Daoist Chen has come to the Liu Clan."

The woman's words were like a gentle breeze, making Chen Nianzhi feel comfortable.

He naturally reciprocated the courtesy shown to him by standing up, bowing, and smiling as he said, "This must be Patriarch Liu Clan. I've long heard of the Liu Clan extraordinary appearance, and seeing you today truly makes you seem like Celestial Person."

"Fellow Daoist, you flatter me. I am Liu Jueyan, and I pay my respects." Liu Jueyan slightly, her gaze fixed on Chen Nianzhi, and smiled, "Now, in the Border Province, who does not know the fame of your swordsmanship in the Sword Duel at Qingyuan Mountain, where you slew Lin Baixi?"

After exchanging pleasantries, Chen Nianzhi didn't linger and got down to business.

"To be honest, I've come here to purchase some Golden-whisker Silkworm Silk."

"Golden-whisker Silkworm Silk."

The old man frowned and said helplessly, "But the Golden-whisker Silkworm Silk I've accumulated over these three years was already reserved by the Azure Sun Sect ten years ago."

"Great Elder!"

Liu Jueyan suddenly interrupted the old man, turned to Chen Nianzhi and smiled, "Our three prefectures in the Border Province are one, so it's natural for the major Foundation Establishment Lineage to be closer."

"Alright then, we can refuse Azure Sun Sect for now, and sell these Golden-whisker Silkworm Silk to Fellow Daoist Chen first."

"This..."

Chen Nianzhi was delighted and quickly thanked him, saying, "Thank you very much."

"I, Chen Clan, want all the Golden-whisker Silkworm Silk I've accumulated over these three years."

Liu Jueyan smiled slightly, "Wait a moment, I will go and have someone fetch the silk."

Half an hour later, Chen Nianzhi spent three thousand Spirit Stone to buy three catties and four Golden-whisker Silkworm Silk from the Liu Clan.

With so much Golden-whisker Silkworm Silk, along with other auxiliary materials and some of the Five Elements Essence, it would be enough to refine several sets of Tier 2 Low-grade array flags.

"It seems the battle formations of the Peaceful Sun Six Towns can finally be rearranged."

Thinking of this, Chen Nianzhi showed a hint of joy. Although the Spirit Vein of the Peaceful Sun Six Towns were only of the First-Tier Superior-Grade, they could still exert the power of Tier 2 Low-grade formation and hold off Foundation Establishment cultivators for a while.

Once the formation is successfully replaced, with the six towns serving as a protective and early warning barrier, the safety of the area within hundreds of miles of Peaceful Sun City will increase by dozens of times.

The six towns are only a few hundred miles from Peaceful Sun County. With the Old Clan Leader's cultivation level, he can arrive to their aid in an instant. Therefore, as long as they hold out for a short while, they will be able to wait for reinforcements.

By then, those hundreds of miles of fertile plains will be enough to be gradually developed and used for farming, which could at least feed millions of people.

"The transaction is complete, so I won't linger any longer." Having accepted the Golden-whisker Silkworm Silk, Chen Nianzhi said with a smile, adding a word of thanks before leaving, "Today, fellow Daoist made an exception and sold my Chen Clan's Golden-whisker Silkworm Silk; we will remember this favor."

Upon hearing this, Liu Jueyan nodded and said, "Then I won't see you off any further."

After Chen Nianzhi had gone far away, the Great Elder of the Liu Clan finally couldn't hold back any longer. He stood up and couldn't help but ask.

"This Golden-whisker Silkworm Silk was ordered by Lin Muhua of the Azure Sun Sect ten years in advance. How are we supposed to explain to Lin Muhua that you sold it to the Chen Clan?"

"He is an outer sect elder of the Azure Sun Sect, Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator. How can we offend him?"

"Azure Sun Sect?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Jueyan suddenly sneered, "Do you still remember what the Azure Sun Sect did when the Beast Turmoil broke out more than seventy years ago, and two of my Liu Clan uncles died in battle?"

The old man's expression froze, and a hint of resentment appeared in his eyes. "The Azure Sun Sect is unfair in its dealings; they still owe my Liu Clan a Foundation-Building Pill."

"Hmm." Liu Jueyan nodded, then said, "Do you know that Chen Qingyuan of the Chen Clan passed away after taking the Foundation Foundation-Building Pill from the Azure Sun Sect?"

"What?"

The old man's expression suddenly changed drastically, and he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Liu Jueyan closed her eyes, sighed, and said, "The Azure Sun Alliance is like a piece of waste paper; the Azure Sun Sect is probably unreliable."

"They are only concerned with Azure Sun Two Provinces. The Beast Turmoil twenty years from now will require the concerted efforts and mutual assistance of all the major Lineage in the three counties of the Border Province."
